 How to best hire a full time designer?
I am looking to hire a full time web designer (coding knowledge a big plus). I have one I work with now that does great work, but due to his other clients it can be slow work at times. I would like to bring on a salaried designer and just don't know the best way to go about finding the right fit. I am nervous because I need to be able to trust this person and need them to be a long term fit, not a fly by night. Any thoughts you guys have would be VERY helpful!

Past recommendations, actually go to the sites on their portfolio and ask how they where.

Where do you feel is the best place to try to find a full time designer with a solid reputation and good skills?

The best possible way is to use Escrow. At the end of each week, you will top up a certain amount into it. Once the project is completed, release the payment after you gotten the files. Designer must agree to the terms and conditions of course. I'm talking about real full time pay depending on his qualifications, experiences and portfolio.

Well, he probably does. I'm sure he'll find one though. Good luck Lee!
